I just noticed i said POD in my last post, stuck on the brain see. :-)

I have talked to afew about a trip to the pod and it seems the only time that everyone has got some tume free is september onwards, so it looks like sept/Oct for the trip.

I'll get some details together and start another thread for interest.

Thanks mat, it was well worth 8k just to drive her over seems like ages since I had mine. And as for 10k in 6 months you might be right the way there dropping like flys everyone seems to be stripping them then selling on seems stupid for such a rare car. I can't make my mind up classic or new age I love the drive of a classic but the comfort of the new age.

Simb for bringing Daz and that amazing car along for us to see, that has got to be a car every petrol head to aspire to own without doubt.

Glad that Nathan (Brad scoob1)sorted the car out when he got home turned out to be a loose wire on the coil pack.

Dave and Gem for showing me the way home, and filming the very very rare occasion I use launch control.. on the exit from the tole booth on the severn bridge..

And of course everyone else for their company on a great day..!
I know Lee it picked a time to go lol, at least it's sorted now ready for the next one

I reckon you done it on purpose so you could compete with Lee for the loudest pops and bangs

Glad you got it sorted bud, thought it sounded more coil pack than plug so to speak, bring on the next one

I haven't used it since. Sounds like a release bearing. Will get it sorted in a couple if weeks when back off holiday. First time I have tried a launch, was pretty brutal but the clutch noise started after it. Clutch is rated at 20% more torque than the car is running so a bit pissed off as only done 2500 miles including running in.

Are you using the ACT SB4-XTSS? That's what I've got in mine and reading that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
